The UK already has faster payments in all major banks. I can send and receive money instantly from app or Web. Will yours be as fast as that?

The UK has a problem with authorised push payment fraud. Banks can recover funds which have been sent as a result of phishing / fraud. How can I reverse a payment on your platform if it was fraudulent?

The UK also has receiver verification. If I try to send to an account and it doesn't match the name I'm sending to, my bank will warn me. How do you stop impersonation?

There's no cost to sending payments on most mainstream banks. How much do you charge?

Most banks let the user block receiving payments from specific accounts. How do you stop harassers sending unwanted money?

Thanks!

Not really. Someone steals money, sends them to you, your are having lots of trouble proving you are not an accomplice. If you are a government official, you can be framed as receiving a bribe.

In russia government can send your organisation money from abroad via an agent and then shut you down as a 'foreign agent'.

MobileCoin transactions and balances are private and untraceable. This problem doesn't exist here.

Think again. A criminal sends you a known amount of money, then you are seized and phone is searched, and you receive the exact amount of money a criminal had sent you.
